A Darker, Deeper Jim Carrey Returns to TV With 'Kidding'
Mr. Carrey, the beloved funnyman of "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" and "Dumb and Dumber" fame, is back in his first ongoing TV role since "In Living Color." But he's not in a laughing mood.
By Dave Itzkoff
CULVER CITY, Calif. — Jim Carrey was harder to locate than it seemed.
Yes, the lanky guy with the dopey, chin-length bob haircut wearing a pair of hand puppets shaped like anthropomorphic sandwiches in sunglasses looked very much like the actor we know. He was filming a scene here at Sony Pictures Studios for his new Showtime series, "Kidding" — his first ongoing television role since his heyday on "In Living Color," and his first acting work of any kind in a couple of years — which casts him as Jeff Pickles, a Mister Rogers-like children's-TV host whose personal life is in free-fall.
In this sequence, on this July morning, Mr. Carrey was trying to get a laugh out of his young co-star Cole Allen, who plays both of Pickles's twin sons. Mr. Carrey operated one of the puppets while speaking in a goofy voice, as if his tongue were stuck to the roof of his mouth. Then he switched to a serpentine hiss, reminiscent of his manic character in "The Mask": "Ssss-s-s-savory!"
Like his best-known performances — his hit comedies like "Dumb and Dumber," as well as later serious efforts like "The Truman Show" — this one had all the classic Carrey elements: It was antic and inventive, with an undercurrent of desperation to be liked.
But beneath the buoyancy, there was a palpable melancholy, hinting at the vein of sorrow that runs throughout "Kidding." Just as his character relies on his puppets to say the things that he cannot, Mr. Carrey is using the show as a vehicle to express urgent feelings that he can't otherwise get across. The series is one of the darkest things Mr. Carrey has made, and he is grappling with some dark emotions right now.
As viewers will learn about Jeff Pickles, he is a beloved entertainer discovering that his philosophy of kindness and tolerance may not be enough to sustain him in a world that is often tragic and downright hostile. It's not a stretch to wonder how much of that might also apply to the man portraying him.

But there's a crucial difference between them: If Jeff Pickles isn't sure who he is anymore, Mr. Carrey is quite certain that he isn't anybody.
When I asked him later that day if he thought he was experiencing an existential crisis, he answered me, calmly and with supreme confidence: "I don't have a crisis anymore. I know I don't exist."
This is not the story of an actor who lost himself in a role and forgot where the boundaries were between his character and himself. This is about a performer who wanted to get lost entirely and perhaps still isn't sure if he wants to come back at all.
ON HIS LUNCH BREAK, Mr. Carrey invited me into his trailer. The room was dim except for the light coming off the graphical tablet he uses to create some of the political cartoons that are occasionally posted on his Twitter account: jagged drawings of, say, a Russian flag planted in President Trump. The artwork is one of the only things Mr. Carrey has created for public consumption recently and he described the undertaking as if it were a patriotic obligation.
"The last few years, it's become essential," he said. "It's like going into the army in Israel. Something needs protecting and you're going to do it — you have to." (More on this subject later.)
It's "Kidding," which debuts on Sunday, that Mr. Carrey said he regards as "the first thing I've done since I quit the business." Not that he ever officially submitted a resignation letter to Hollywood. "I mean, in my head," he said. "I struggled for a few years with the idea of, O.K., what now? You get to it sooner or later, if you accomplish a lot of stuff."
Should you need reminding, Mr. Carrey's past accomplishments are quite staggering. Beginning with his breakout 1994 feature "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective," he starred in a series of blockbuster comedies (peaking commercially with "Bruce Almighty," a $242 million hit in 2003) and family movies (a roster topped by "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," which grossed $260 million in 2000).

He also made a credible crossover into serious fare like "Man on the Moon," Milos Forman's 1999 biopic about Andy Kaufman. Like that film's subject, Mr. Carrey seemed like he could pop up anywhere; he was perpetually dancing on the border between inspired and aggravating.
Mr. Carrey reached a kind of creative zenith playing an angst-ridden Everyman in the inventive 2004 romantic comedy "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind," directed by Michel Gondry, with whom he reunites on "Kidding."
But lately Mr. Carrey's creative output has slowed to a trickle. Since 2011, he has appeared in six movies, garnering the most attention for the lackluster "Dumb and Dumber" sequel in 2014. Since then he's made only a couple of little-seen, low-budget films you probably weren't even aware of: "The Bad Batch," which grossed about $180,000 at its release in 2017; and "Dark Crimes," which opened this past May and holds a 0 percent critics' rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
His deceleration, Mr. Carrey said, was his choice while he re-examined "my place in the status-phere." As he put it, "What motivates me now, when I don't have 'getting rich' to hold up in front of me, or 'getting famous' to hold up in front of me?"
The filmmaker Judd Apatow, a longtime friend who produced Mr. Carrey's 1996 comedy "The Cable Guy" and helped write his 2005 film "Fun With Dick and Jane," said Mr. Carrey's professional trajectory illustrates how "everything changes when all of your dreams come true."
"No one can totally relate to what he went through in his career," Mr. Apatow said.
Mr. Carrey sees his circumstances in slightly different terms. Comparing himself to his character at the end of "The Truman Show," as he wrestles with the choice between comfortable captivity and dangerous freedom, he said, "Instead of being the guy who just walks through the door, I was sitting in front of it and not walking through it."
"I struggled with that for a while," he added. "Then eventually, I realized: Oh, I already have walked through the door."
Mr. Carrey is 56 years old now, with a face that's more lined than it was in the Ace Ventura era but no less expressive. He can still twist it into the contorted countenance of the Grinch when he wants to elicit a laugh.
But he's not always prone to whimsical moods. He can be effortlessly funny in one moment and unexpectedly intense in the next. When he talked about himself it was often at a distance, using a tangled vocabulary of self-actualization metaphors. In these moments, he would speak with a straight face and in an even tone; I would nod as if I grasped what he meant. And when I later listened to his words, I realized I didn't understand him at all.
As he told me in one such instance: "I see what is presented to me on a little screen. That works within the boundaries of that proscenium. I'm the whole thing, man. I'm the theater, not the proscenium. So when I remember that, I'm free."

IN 2015, MR. CARREY'S FORMER GIRLFRIEND Cathriona White, a makeup artist, died from an overdose of multiple prescription drugs; a coroner would later rule her death a suicide. The following year, Mr. Carrey was sued for wrongful death by Ms. White's estranged husband and her mother, who alleged among other charges that Mr. Carrey had used a false name to help obtain these drugs for Ms. White.
Mr. Carrey filed a countersuit that said he was a victim of a "cottage industry that both feeds upon and exploits the public vulnerability of those who have achieved Hollywood notoriety." It got uglier still: A suicide note written by Ms. White was published in the news media and Mr. Carrey said he was being extorted by a "false claim" that he had given her sexually transmitted diseases. The lawyer Michael Avenatti, who represented Ms. White's husband and mother, said that Mr. Carrey was "incoherent and unhinged," adding, "He needs help."
The lawsuit against Mr. Carrey was dismissed this past January.
In my presence Mr. Carrey never mentioned these people by name or cited any of these events directly. To the extent that he even acknowledged these tumultuous times, he tried to see them as an opportunity for personal growth.
"I've had incredible highs and incredible accomplishments happen in my life," he said. "And at the same time, I've also had incredibly unjust and unfair things happen. Not that anybody cares when they hear that about someone like me. But I have. And those things have made me deeper."
He continued: "There's no one I can't sit with now, after what I've been through, and say, 'What's your thing — what's your pain?' And what an incredible place to be as an artist."
Among the few things Mr. Carrey worked on in this period was "Dark Crimes," a thriller that he said was set to shoot in Chicago but which he wanted (and got) filmed in Poland, where its story takes place. "That was a very dark, terribly painful moment in my life," he explained to me. "Poland was a rainy place with a lot of crows, man, and it was beautiful."

Another project that Mr. Carrey started getting serious about was "Kidding." The series was created by Dave Holstein, a writer for the anarchic Showtime comedy "Weeds," who wrote its pilot script in response to what he felt were the constraints of conventional network sitcoms as well as the ubiquity of brooding antiheroes on cable TV dramas.
This comedy-drama tells the story of Jeff Pickles, whose long-running series, "Mr. Pickles' Puppet Time," has endeared him to kids and parents for some 30 years, but whose equanimity comes unraveled when one of his children is killed in a car accident.
"He doesn't want to break bad — he wants to stay good in a very cruel world," Mr. Holstein said of the gentle protagonist of "Kidding." "Personally, given the times we live in, I have a desire for optimism. I have a desire for someone like this to exist."
Naturally, Mr. Holstein used Fred Rogers as a reference for the character. He also thought of Mr. Carrey, given that Mr. Holstein was 11 years old in 1994, the year that "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective," "The Mask" and "Dumb and Dumber" were all released in theaters.
"He was the epitome of going to the movies and laughing," he said of Mr. Carrey. "He was such a big part of joy, growing up."
Just as audiences want to see Mr. Carrey reclaim his mojo and return to the kinds of roles that first made him popular, Mr. Holstein said they would naturally project some of these feelings onto the addled and tempest-tossed Jeff Pickles. "You wanted old Jim back, just like you wanted old Jeff back," he said.
Showtime began to court Mr. Carrey with the "Kidding" script, though he was not initially interested. In the meantime, Mr. Holstein started writing for "I'm Dying Up Here," the network's period comedy-drama set in the stand-up scene of 1970s Hollywood, which is produced by Mr. Carrey's media company and on which he serves as an executive producer.
Gradually, Mr. Carrey came around to the idea of prestige cable series, to "Kidding" and to its underlying themes of suffering and relief that align with his own feelings.
"It says exactly what I want to say to the world: 'Good luck escaping the pain — you're not going to,'" Mr. Carrey explained. "But that's beautiful. Even that's going to turn into something glorious if you stick with it."
The other clincher for Mr. Carrey was the addition of Mr. Gondry as a director and executive producer on "Kidding."

When he and Mr. Carrey had their earliest face-to-face conversations about "Kidding," Mr. Gondry said: "He looked tired. His hair was longer, and I immediately thought that was Mr. Pickles right there. He would bring something that was not necessarily on the page, that would make it stronger."
With Mr. Carrey's input and approval, the cast of "Kidding" grew to include Frank Langella as Jeff's father and executive producer, Seb; Catherine Keener as Jeff's sister and chief puppet maker, Deirdre; and Judy Greer as Jeff's estranged wife, Jill.
Mr. Holstein has never run a television series before and he discovered pretty early on that Mr. Carrey had no intention of being a silent collaborator on "Kidding."
"We sat down a couple of times in his living room and we would just bat ideas back and forth," Mr. Holstein said. "An idea for a puppet would become a running joke for the season, which became a final image. You started to see what the show could do. It could touch on these dualities which I think he feels a lot in his own struggles between a personal and a public life."
He was referring only to the themes of "Kidding" when he said this, but it sure seemed as if Mr. Holstein was describing something more. "If you've been pushing off your dark side your whole life and then you start to let it in, that's a struggle," he said. "It's a struggle to understand that both a dark side and a light side can operate at the same time."
THE SET OF "KIDDING," made up to look like the set of a children's TV show in Columbus, Ohio, had a stupefying, vertigo-inducing quality; anyone here could be an actor playing a cameraperson, gaffer or grip, or an actual cameraperson, gaffer or grip.
Mr. Carrey, wearing the telltale vest and tie of Jeff Pickles, was engaged in what he called "back-ting": miming some motions in the background of a scene that centered on Mr. Langella and Ms. Keener. Sometimes, when cut was called, Mr. Carrey would playfully declare, "Nailed it!" and flash an exaggerated thumbs-up; other times, he would despondently emphasize how much effort he was putting into a sequence that barely featured him.
"That's a whole five-minute scene that'll never been seen — a little speck in the corner," he said at one point, only half-joking. "They have no idea that I went through hell for them."

Mr. Carrey is not necessarily the sort of person who needs to be the center of attention at all times. On this day, the "Kidding" set was being visited by Tim Robbins, a friend of Mr. Holstein's, and off-camera he and Mr. Carrey entertained each other by swapping mangled mispronunciations of the title of Mr. Robbins's film "The Shawshank Redemption."
When Mr. Robbins pointed out that they were in the studio where Ray Bolger filmed his slapstick scarecrow dance in "The Wizard of Oz," Mr. Carrey's mouth curled into a beatific smile. "Even when you're gone, you reinspire," Mr. Carrey said. "Ray Bolger has no idea that, in 2018, Jim Carrey's here, just tripping out."
Back in his trailer, Mr. Carrey shared with me his drawings of comedians he admires, including his portrait of John Belushi looking like a bull about to charge. ("To me this face says, 'Stop me? Go ahead and try,'" Mr. Carrey explained.)

The majority of his illustrations were political: Paul Manafort as an alien creature slipping a human mask over its reptilian face; Representative Trey Gowdy metamorphosing, Gregor Samsa-style, into an insect. (An exhibition of about 80 of these cartoons is planned to open in October at the Maccarone gallery in Los Angeles.)

Mr. Carrey made no apology for their content or tone. "It's my knee-jerk reaction to what's going on," he said. "I want it to be harsh and I want it to be loud." If his cartoons revealed an angry side to him that the public rarely sees, Mr. Carrey said so be it. "Any human being you've ever seen in your life, including Gandhi, has been angry," he said. (Mr. Carrey was among the boldface names who said they would not participate in this year's New Yorker festival, citing the magazine's decision to host Stephen K. Bannon, President Trump's former chief strategist, as a headliner. The magazine subsequently rescinded its invitation to Mr. Bannon.)
Even his simple drawings, Mr. Carrey added, demonstrated something fundamental about art. "The alchemy is in taking whatever's painful, whatever's confusing, and transforming it into something that didn't exist before," he said.
But, to pose a question that "Kidding" asks repeatedly: How much can art really do to assuage the suffering of the people who make it?
Or, to put it another way: Is there something strange or even perilous about making a show about a man who is using his TV show to work through (or possibly avoid) his grief, starring a man who is using his TV show to work through (or possibly avoid) his grief?
As obvious as the point appeared to me, Mr. Carrey's collaborators were not especially eager to pursue this line of inquiry. But in an affectionate way, they seemed to want to shield him from further pain.
"Certainly, I'm not in a position to talk about his personal life," Mr. Gondry said. "With Jim, I know he's going through some difficult times. Because I can see it in his face. I simply ask him to delve in that direction of the character."
Ms. Greer focused at first on the Jeff Pickles character, whom she compared to E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial. "He's this special creature that needs to be protected and kept on a spaceship so that he doesn't die," she said.
But Ms. Greer could not help extending her metaphor. "I feel like I want to take care of Jim Carrey," she said. "He's so open he'll give you whatever you want. It's not that he doesn't have fear — he's so open about expressing his fears, he makes it seem like he doesn't have them."
When I finally asked Mr. Carrey directly — was it perhaps not the best time to be playing someone whose life, profession and palpable anguish were so inextricably intertwined? — I found myself falling down another ontological wormhole with him.
Steering the conversation away from himself, Mr. Carrey said that there were "a lot of parallels in the character's intention." Then he compared Jeff Pickles to the race horse Secretariat, who was reputed to have, as Mr. Carrey put it, "a heart that was three times bigger than the other horses'."
"That's Jeff, the heart that has to be protected, and we know it's falling apart," he said. "But it's only falling apart because that's how life is."
Then, without prompting, Mr. Carrey volunteered: "I don't believe in nervous breakdowns. I believe in nervous breakthroughs. You don't get to the next level without having a breakthrough. And it's usually the eruption of honesty."
I asked him if he had been experiencing depression and he replied, "I don't have it — I don't have any dealings with it anymore." Then he added: "I think I did have it, of course. But I didn't understand it."
Referring to the teachings of Jeff Foster, a spiritual guru he regards as a friend, Mr. Carrey explained, "He said what you should do is change the meaning of the word 'depressed' to 'deep rest.' Because depression is your body finally deciding it's had it with the person you're trying to play in the world."
Regardless of whom Mr. Carrey believes he is right now — even if he's not entirely sure who he is at the moment — he feels certain he is no longer playing a persona or operating by anyone's rules but his own.
For the first time in a long while, Mr. Carrey said he is aware of his solitude — not just noticing but enjoying it. "I love being in the midst of people," he said, "and I also abso-[expletive]-lutely love to be alone in my life. I love my empty [expletive] halls that I walk down, and talking to myself and whatever it is I want to do."
Whatever personal pain he is still tending to, Mr. Carrey tries to find solace in people's capacity for creativity and in the work they make, which he offered as a counterbalance to the messiness and imperfection of life.
"We're magical, we create magic," he said. "And yet, at the same time, so much of it is born out of this desperate need to find peace. To get to that place where everything's going to be all right. We're addicted to unfinished-ness."
Lately Mr. Carrey has found himself fascinated with narratives — not just the kinds that get told in popular entertainment but the ones we construct out of the disparate events in our lives to make our experiences appear rational and orderly. As tenuous as he can sometimes feel, he is certain he knows the narrative about himself that will eventually prevail.
"There's a guy named Jim Carrey," he said, "who has a really sweet, wonderful story about a bunch of people who totally loved him and believed in him, and made it way beyond what anybody imagined he could. And he turned out to be an all-right guy. That's the winning tale to me."

Vaping impairs brain function in adults
Tristan Manalac
The purchase, use and possession of electronic nicotine delivery systems, such as e-cigarettes and vaporisers, will be banned in Singapore, starting early next year.
The use of electronic cigarettes appears to worsen cognitive function among US adults, according to a recent study.
"[I]n this study, we provided the very first evidence about the potential cross-sectional association of e-cigarette use with subjective cognitive complaints, which should raise concerns about possible cognitive effects of e-cigarette use, and further emphasize the importance of tobacco regulatory policy on flavoured e-cigarettes to protect public health," the researchers said.
Drawing from the 2016 and 2017 versions of the Behavioural Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) national survey, the current study included 886,603 adults with available information regarding their smoking and vaping status.
The principal outcome was any subjective cognitive complaint, defined in the survey as having "serious difficulty concentrating, remembering, or making decisions," and dichotomized according to the participants' yes or no answers.
Based on the survey responses alone, smoking and vaping behaviours significantly correlated with having subjective cognitive complaints (p<0.0001). [PLoS One 2020;15:e0241599]
For instance, the percentages of dual users and current smokers reporting such a complaint were 27.53 percent and 20.37 percent, respectively. In never users, only 8.02 percent had subjective cognitive problems. Exclusive vapers were similarly affected, with complaint rates of 18.68 percent and 16.16 percent among current vapers who were ex-smokers and never smokers, respectively.
These interactions were confirmed in subsequent multivariable weighted logistic regression analyses. Compared to never users, participants who were currently using both electronic and combustible cigarettes were more than twice as likely to have a subjective cognitive complaint (odds ratio [OR], 2.07, 95 percent confidence interval, 1.66–2.60).
Similar estimates were obtained for current exclusive smokers (OR, 1.49, 95 percent CI, 1.32–1.69) and current vapers who were ex-smokers (OR, 1.94, 95 percent CI, 1.40–2.71) or who had never smoked (OR, 1.96, 95 percent CI, 1.16–3.30).
Even ex-smokers were at a higher risk of reporting subjective cognitive complaints than never users (OR, 1.25, 95 percent CI, 1.11–1.41).
Stratifying the above analyses according to age groups revealed important differences. Particularly, despite having a strong effect in the overall cohort, an exclusive history of vaping showed no significant impact on subjective cognitive complaints across all tested age groups. In the oldest category (≥65 years), such an exposure even had a protective effect (OR, 0.04, 95 percent CI, 0.01–0.27).
"Current vapers who never smoked in some age groups (for example, 35–49, 50–64, and ≥65) had a relatively small sample size, which might result in the inconclusive results in these age groups," the researchers explained. In the two younger age groups (18–24 and 25–34 years), a relatively shorter time of exposure to electronic cigarettes or a more robust neurology may explain the null findings.
On the whole, "[t]here are several possible different interpretations for the association of vaping with subjective cognitive complaints," they added. "One is that vaping or smoking could increase the risk of subjective cognitive complaints mainly through nicotine exposure. Another possible explanation is that patients having subjective cognitive complaints might use smoking or vaping to reduce cognitive symptoms."
However, the present study is underpowered to determine the direction of the association or to establish causality. Future studies are required to elucidate more clearly the pathways between vaping and subjective cognitive impairments, and to better understand the role age plays.

It is a familiar narrative for Clinton who talked a lot about her mother in her 2008 run as well. The videos signal that despite reassurances from the Clinton camp that they are not worried about Vice President Biden's run they are also not taking any chances.

American dialects are dying faster than the phone booth. Twenty years ago, a linguist could pinpoint your native roots down to the city or county you were raised in simply from hearing you speak. With the rise of national media, beginning with the radio and growing to cable television, Americans are losing their regional voices. Some, like in Appalachia, cling to that accent as a sign of regional pride. There are programs cropping up in schools all over the region to teach children to embrace their dialect instead of feeling inferior. And in Maine, a local linguist says despite older accents dying out young people are clinging to their native tongue to preserve the authenticity of their towns. But in the South, people say that continued migration from their Northern friends seeking warmer climate has changed their dialect and references entirely.
A new WSJ/NBC News poll shows Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, perhaps benefiting from his symbiotic relationship with Donald Trump. The poll has Cruz bounding up 5 points from June, and recovering much of his initial post-announcement bounce. This is the first evidence that acting as Trump's defender may have advantages for the freshman senator. Can Cruz benefit even more after the expected end of the Trumptation or will he inherit too many of Trump's negatives?
As Trump starts acting more cautiously one wonders if the moment we find out about a post-Trump world may be soon approaching.
But Cruz's real advantage is the ongoing struggle of his fellow freshman, Marco Rubio. The latest round of polls has Rubio down again. An average of recent polls puts Rubio in sixth place overall. What's the matter? The best theory seems to be that Rubio and Jeb Bush are simply too much alike and that Bush's bankroll and organization have taken on too much gravity.
The recent slide may light a fire under Rubio (and some others) as they head into Cleveland Thursday for the first Republican debate.
Speaking of debate fireworks, also climbing is Ohio Gov. John Kasich, whose campaign and ad blitz seems increasingly likely to get him into the top ten as the cycle kicks off in earnest in his home state.

Philharmonie Berlin
The Philharmonie is a concert hall opened in 1963 in West Berlin. It is considered the musical heart of the German capital, as well as the new urban centre after the fall of the infamous Berlin Wall. Its distinctive bright yellow exterior and unusual tent‐like shape quickly made it a city landmark. The surprising design and architecture were initially viewed negatively by many, but the Philharmonie is now considered a model for concert halls worldwide. The architect, Hans Scharoun, aimed to design a concert hall in which the focal point — the musicians on the concert platform — is equally visible from every seat, an aim that gave rise to the hall's unusual shape. Since its inauguration, the Berliner Philharmonie has hosted numerous concerts, often featuring acclaimed soloists and conductors.

Since inventing the praline more than 100 years ago, Belgium has cultivated a £3.5bn chocolate industry that accounted for 9 per cent of Belgium's food sales last year.
Belgian chocolate, one of the country's most popular exports, has become the ultimate seal of quality and taste, but for Belgians it runs much deeper. It is a matter of national pride – and the industry is going through an identity crisis.
Aside from the general pressures that come with operating in a globalised world where big fish eat the smaller ones, Belgian's chocolatiers exist in a market where prices are rising, global demand is soaring, and where some of its most established chocolate manufacturers are being accused of muddying the good Belgian name.
But Steven Candries, sales director at Guylian, argues that it is possible for companies to have foreign owners and remain true to their Belgian heritage. He insists the Guylian takeover 10 years ago "hasn't changed anything", and that it still produces everything in Belgium. In fact, this year it has pledged to become the first Belgian chocolate manufacturer to use no palm oil in its products, which has been linked to environmental, social and health concerns.
But some Belgian manufacturers, Candries points out, make their chocolates in factories abroad, and still call it Belgian. For example, Godiva has a factory in Pennsylvania, US.
According to Guy Gallet, the secretary general of Choprabisco (the Royal Belgian Association of the Biscuit, Chocolate, Pralines and Confectionary), it's less important who the manufacturer's owners are.
"What's most important for us is that the chocolate is made here. Foreign companies don't invest in Belgian chocolate with the aim of locating it to another county, because they couldn't then use the Belgian chocolate name," he says.
In some cases, however, these foreign takeovers can affect product lines. Brussels-based chocolate manufacturer Godiva, for example, is almost 100 years old and was bought by American firm Campbell Soup Company in 1966 and subsequently purchased by the Turkish Yıldız Holding in 2007. Last year the company found itself in a PR nightmare when it announced it would no longer be making pralines containing liqueur, which was, up until then, one of its signature chocolates, in order to appeal to more people.
Leading Belgian chocolatier Dominique Persoone doesn't approve. "My grandmother always bought Godiva when I was child. They were very famous for liquor chocolate but now, with their new owners, it's forbidden. But starting to change original recipes is not a good idea," he tells The Independent.
Annie Young-Scrivner, Godiva's CEO, says chocolate is part of Belgium's national identity, and the "essence of what it means to be Belgian".
She says Godiva is a "proud ambassador of the Belgian heritage", and that the brand is Belgian "through and through".
Despite accusations Godiva isn't as thoroughly Belgian as some of its competitors, two years later it was honoured with the Belgian royal warrant, and became the official chocolatier of the royal court – a role it still holds today.
The company was taken over by Yıldız partly because Godiva was assured they shared a "mutual love and passion for chocolate", according to the Turkis firm's chairman Murat Ülker. Young-Scrivner says Godiva has since stayed true to its Belgian heritage, which Yıldız respects, while expanding to more than 100 countries.
"We marry innovation with tradition," she says, offering as an example the chocolatier's range of products, which celebrate Christmas, Valentine's Day, Chinese New Year and Ramadan. International takeovers aren't the only threat to the coveted Belgian chocolate label; manufacturers around the world with no connection to Belgium are using the good name to shift stock, forcing chocolatiers to stand up for what they believe constitutes true Belgian chocolate.
The label certainly hasn't happened overnight. Since Jean Neuhaus Jr, grandson of the founder of chocolate-maker Neuhaus, invented the praline in Belgium in 1912, the country has grown and attracted some of the world's most talented chocolatiers. It invented the ballotin, a boxed packaging that keeps chocolate fresh, developed methods to transport liquid chocolate, and introduced chocolate modelling paste.
"Over 150 years ago, Belgium was an ecosystem of chocolatiers – it was the Silicon Valley of chocolate; taste profiles were refined, and craftsmen innovated and challenged each other and improved their products," Ignace Van Doorselaere says.
European Union legislation says that in order to call a product chocolate, it must contain no more than 5 per cent substitute fat, which is cheaper than using cocoa butter. But Belgium does one better.
Belgian chocolate bears little resemblance to the sugary confectionery that goes under the name of chocolate in other parts of the world. The key is the ingredients and the purity of the cocoa, which must conform to strict regulations. Master chocolate-makers never use substitute fats.
But manufacturers argue that the quality of Belgian chocolate, and all the hard work behind it, is being undermined by sub-par chocolate claiming to be Belgian – and not enough is being done to get the situation under control.
Guy Gallet says EU legislation on misleading labels goes some way to protect Belgian chocolate, but it's not enough.
"We have success with it and there are fewer cases these days where we need to intervene, but it's harder in, say, China," he says. Choprabisco is looking at "more proactive" ways of protecting the Belgian chocolate label – one that's more specific, as the current EU protection applies for all foods.
Eating three chocolate bars every month can drastically reduce your risk of experiencing heart failure, scientists have claimed.
However, a recent study presented at the European Society of Cardiology conference in Munich states that moderation, not deprivation, is key in preventing heart issues later on in life.
However, eating too much chocolate can lead to a 17 per cent increased risk of heart failure, which is why it's important not to go overboard. Dr Chayakrit Krittanawong, resident at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York and lead researcher of the study, explained how the flavonoids found in chocolate can be beneficial for one's health.
European cocoa giant Barry Callebaut CG has released a naturally golden-coloured chocolate in time for the festive season. The gold chocolate has been in development for two years.
To create the gold colour, Belgian chocolatiers incorporate sugar and milk that has been caramelised into the chocolate.
Technically a white chocolate, it contains cocoa butter, sugar, milk powder, milk sugar (lactose), whey powder, caramelised milk powder, caramelised sugar, soya lecithin (emulsifier), natural vanilla and salt.
The resulting flavour has "notes of toffee, butter and cream", with an intense toasted caramel and slightly salty taste, and a milky, silk texture.
Callebaut's high melting point makes it suitable for cooking and a favourite among professional pastry chefs.
We predict the new hue will add a little more glam to your festive banquet, with the use of gold chocolate in classics such as chocolate mousse, fondant, rocky road, fudge, fondue, or a Christmas trifle.
For a decade and a half, the big chocolate makers have promised to end child labour in their industry—and have spent tens of millions of dollars in the effort. But as of the latest estimate, 2.1 million West African children still do the dangerous and physically taxing work of harvesting cocoa. What will it take to fix the problem?
The boy with the machete is watching us. We're sitting in an SUV in the middle of a rugged, red-dirt road about 10 miles outside the city of Abengourou, in eastern Ivory Coast.
Ibrahim is wearing ripped jeans, a worn, royal-blue Chelsea soccer shirt with the name of the team's sponsor—Samsung—in large white letters across the front, and the same kind of clear plastic sandals that are everywhere in this part of West Africa. He holds his dusty blade casually against his left hip.
For the $100 billion chocolate candy industry, the story of Ibrahim represents a serious problem—one that it has been vowing to fix for 15 years without great success, and which has gained new urgency in recent months.
The multinational chocolate makers are heavily dependent on West Africa. More than 70% of the world's cocoa is grown in the region, and the vast majority of that supply comes from two countries: Ivory Coast and Ghana, which together produce 60% of the global total. The two nations have a combined GDP of around $73 billion, according to the World Bank—or significantly less than Nestlé's $100 billion in sales last year. Yet the global chocolate business would be thrown into chaos without them. Last year, Ivory Coast alone exported nearly 1.8 million metric tons of cocoa, or two-fifths of the world's production. And demand for chocolate is going up, as a growing number of consumers in countries like China and India have more disposable income. The price of cocoa surged 13% in 2015 even as prices for most raw materials were dropping. Meanwhile the average farmer in each country still lives well below the international poverty line.
Though the most sensational stories about child labour over the years have focused on boys and girls who've been held against their will and abused, the more common story is similar to that of Ibrahim. Hundreds of thousands of children are used as free labour by their own families and often asked to take on dangerous tasks like harvesting with machetes or hauling 100-pound bags of beans. For many, school is not an option.
There's been a lot of activity on the corporate side in the last few years. Virtually every name-brand chocolate maker has created or expanded its own sustainability program aimed at tackling the child labor issue by improving the lot of farmers. And through the World Cocoa Foundation, an industry group, 10 of the largest chocolate companies created an ambitious program called CocoaAction in 2014. The plan, which has more than $500 million in funding, aims to reach 300,000 farmers in Ivory Coast and Ghana with training programs to help them boost productivity—under the assumption that healthier economics for farmers will translate to better conditions for their children.
Unfortunately, progress has been slow—and by some measures the problem has actually gotten worse in recent years. Last July the Payson Center for International Development at Tulane University released the findings of a comprehensive survey of child labour in Ivory Coast and Ghana in the 2013–14 growing season. Tulane found that 2.1 million children had been engaged in inappropriate forms of child labour in Ivory Coast and Ghana combined—a 21% increase over the 1.75 million identified in its survey five years earlier. Of those, 96% were found to be involved in "hazardous activity." The number of children reported to be performing dangerous tasks fell by 6% in Ghana but jumped by 46% in Ivory Coast.
There was immediate blowback. A batch of headlines proclaimed that child slavery was on the rise. And in September three California consumers, represented by the same law firm, filed class-action lawsuits against Hershey, Mars, and Nestlé, claiming they wouldn't have bought the products had they known the candy might be tainted by child labour.

Mars, the chocolate manufacturer, has pledged to put $1 billion towards cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 67% across its supply chain by 2050.
This announcement is the latest corporate backlash against Donald Trump's decision to pull the US out of the 2015 Paris climate accord.
"Mars has been in business for four generations and intends to be for the next four generations. The only way that will happen is if we do things differently to ensure that the planet is healthy and all people in our extended supply chains have the opportunity to thrive," said Mars' chief executive Grant Reid.
As part of its "Sustainability in a Generation" plan, Mars will be making investments in renewable energy, in sustainable food sourcing, cross-industry action groups, and farmers.
Mars already powers its operations in the US and the UK with wind farms, but it plans to expand wind power to its operations in 11 countries around the world, including Russia, China, and India.
The company, which makes M&M's, Twix, Milky Way, and Skittles, among others, has also announced an M&M's campaign centred on renewable energy, that will include featuring images of things like wind turbines alongside the traditional red and yellow M&M characters.
With investments in farmers, Mars hopes to help farmers transform the way they grow crops to both be more environmentally-friendly, but also to increase their own incomes.
He also said greater efficiencies in the supply chain would help give the company a competitive edge.
Mars is taking practical steps to help in the global struggle to achieve the ambitions of the Paris climate agreement, having previously said it was "disappointed" by President Trump's decision to distance the US from the accord.
It was one of the companies that signed a letter in May urging President Donald Trump not to withdraw from the Paris accord.
The 2015 Paris accord aims to stop Earth heating up, before the temperature increase since the start of the industrial age reaches 2 degrees celsius. The temperature has already increased over 1 degree celsius, but each nation in the agreement has agreed to curb its greenhouse gas emissions, in an attempt to end the increase.
Mars made its sustainability announcement in the lead up to the UN general assembly and climate week, which will run from September 18-24 in New York. They are hoping to spur other companies into action to make similar commitments, but they insist that corporations can't tackle climate change alone.
Muslim countries are turning into fast-growing markets for chocolate, and whilst there is no such thing as halal chocolate, one Asian country is betting more people around the world are going to want a broad range of flavoured chocolate products ...that still comply with the religion's strict food laws.
Malaysia doesn't grow much cocoa, but it has become the continent's No. 2 processor by grinding beans imported from neighboring Indonesia, the largest producer outside of Africa and home to the world's biggest Muslim population. With a majority of its own people classified as Muslim, Malaysia already sells flavoured chocolate products in compliance with Halal principles - which forbid the use of alcohol and some animal products.
Islam is the fastest-growing religion on the planet and may have 2.8 billion faithful by 2050, according to the Pew Research Center. Global sales of Halal-certified chocolate confectionery will reach $1.7 billion by 2020, growing at a 5 percent annual rate that exceeds the 4 percent gains expected for all chocolates, according to Euromonitor International Ltd. Malaysia is hoping the growth will help to boost exports that were a record last year.
Based on the teachings in the Koran, the certification doesn't just apply to food ingredients. Processing machines also must avoid alcohol used in cleaning products as well as many animal-based lubricants -- including emulsifiers or gelatins extracted from hogs.
Dazzle Food which sells specialty couverture and consumer chocolates, became fully Halal in 2009. In addition to the domestic market, it exports to Singapore, Indonesia, China and the Middle East. The Selangor-based company said the certification helped boost sales by 20 percent to 30 percent over the past three years. Demand may grow even faster this year, it said.
Muslim-dominated countries in central Asia and the Middle East provide some of the biggest opportunities for increased exports as their economies expand, according to the Malaysian Cocoa Board. In many, Halal-labeled products aren't niche markets but mainstream staples.
Malaysia doesn't just sell chocolate. A large part of its exports are cocoa products, fillings and coatings made on Halal-compliant equipment, Norhaini said. Last year, overseas shipments of cocoa beans and products were valued at a record 5.74 billion ringgit ($1.3 billion).
Nestle SA stopped Halal-certification of retail chocolate products sold in Australia as of March 2016. Other chocolate brands may comply with Islamic principles but aren't labeled Halal. That's not an issue in Malaysia, where all the foods that Nestle sells there, including Kit Kat, are Halal-certified. Malaysia has 51 chocolate manufacturers and confectioneries and 194 local chocolate producers, selling about 1.095 billion ringgit a year, according to cocoa board data.
The country is focusing on four regions to boost sales, Norhaini said. The country already has more than 50 percent market share in cocoa powder and butter in Southeast Asia, and 30 percent in the rest of Asia, New Zealand and Australia. In the Middle East it holds a 20 percent market share for cocoa butter and powder imports and in eastern Europe it has a 15 to 17 percent share of chocolate ingredients. Top customers in that region are Russia, Ukraine and Kazakhstan.
"By 2020, we should be able to capture 20 percent from the current position for overall eastern Europe," Norhaini said.
Choc News : Could mango solve an impending chocolate crisis?
Chocolate lovers, your beloved snack may have just been saved by another sweet treat: mangoes.
Scientists may have found a way to solve a potential impending shortage of cocoa, which could affect future chocolate production, by using mangoes in lieu of cocoa to make chocolate, according to a study published in Scientific Reports, an open-access journal from the publishers of Nature.
"Wild mango is one of the so-called Cinderella species whose real potential is unrealized," says Sayma Akhter, the study's senior author.
Global cocoa production has been down in recent years due to a handful of factors, including changes in climate and crop failure, while demand has been on the rise, according to experts. Cocoa producers also have been accused of unfair labor practices, including employing child laborers and underpaying farmers.
Wild mango butter, the study says, may be chemically and physically similar enough to cocoa butter to act as a replacement.
The study's authors also believe the potential commercial benefits of the fruit could be a boon to conservation efforts. "Going beyond the use to industry, wild fruits like the mango are an important source of food, medicine and income for rural dwellers, but are in decline due to drivers such as deforestation," said Morag McDonald of Bangor University, another of the study's authors. "Adding value to underutilized products through processing for products that have market value can generate a valuable incentive for the conservation of such species and help to generate alternative income sources and reduce household poverty."

Click above to download an infographic summarizing the report findings (PDF).
Even beyond the obvious physical and mental costs of food insecurity and the incalculable toll on the stability and dignity of families across the United States, there is also a tremendous economic cost. Health care needs of people who are food insecure are higher due to increased incidence and severity of disease. Health outcomes are also worse, reducing productivity and lifetime earnings. In addition, education expenses are higher, with a greater need for intervention such as special education. Achievement levels (and, hence, lifetime earnings) are negatively affected. These costs multiply as they work their way through the business complex and are largely borne by the whole of society. The Perryman Group estimates that hunger costs the US economy $461.9 billion in total expenditures and $221.9 billion in gross product each year as well as nearly 2.5 million permanent jobs on an ongoing basis.
On an incidence basis, the lifetime costs associated with hunger at current levels are almost $3.4 trillion in aggregate spending, over $1.5 trillion in gross product, and 15.9 million years of employment.
The Perryman Group has estimated that every $1.00 invested in expanding the food bank network to meet current needs will result in $33.27 in incremental spending, $15.82 in additional gross product, and $10.31 in personal income (including related multiplier effects).
The Perryman Group estimates that the incremental benefits of expanding food bank and charitable food distribution networks enough to meet current food insecurity needs include $556.6 billion in yearly spending, $264.7 billion in annual gross product, and almost 3.1 million ongoing jobs in the United States.
The full report is available as a PDF download below, as well as an infographic highlighting the major statistics.

Q: why rstudio is not showing any gui in ubuntu? I am using Rstudio. It is not showing any gui elements like editor, menu options etc when i am using it via my user whereas if I use it via sudo command it is working and showing these components. I reinstalled it by removing it by apt-get command, still the problem did not go. Please tell the solution to this problem
rstudio image

A: I removed this directory and it worked ~/.rstudio-desktop.

It looks like RStudio is having trouble writing to your home directory
  (/home/sn). Any chance your quota is full, or you're starting RStudio
  with lower permissions?
Failing that, try removing the folder ~/.rstudio-desktop.
